The semiconductor industry's shattered supply chain must be ...
With the complexity and quantity of automotive electronics steadily increasing, designers are turning to better EDA tools and programmable solutions. Military Seeks Systematic Approach to IC DesignThe EDA community is focusing on point solutions while system-level development continues to evolve. Virtual Prototypes Form ESL BridgeSometimes, the best way to understand an abstract phrase like ESL is to focus on understanding the constituent processes. Analog-RF IP Integration Challenges SoC DesignersAs market forces continue to push more analog and RF functionality into digital SoCs, designers face a host of development issues. Latest Challenges & Trends in Chip VerificationThe sophistication of verification tools and techniques has increased with design complexity.
Sophisticated Legal Search Tool Muscles In
Both are due out in the first half of 2008. Additionally, the company licenses its search technology to enterprises for use in KM and other applications. SEARCH FINGERPRINTING The signature characteristic of the Collexis search engine is what it calls "Fingerprinting." Collexis creates a thesaurus (or what might be called a search vocabulary) for each database. Using that vocabulary, it creates a "Fingerprint" of each unique document within the database -- a profile of key concepts contained within the document and their weight. When conducting a basic search, this "Fingerprinting" helps ensure a high degree of relevance in the search results. Collexis ranks the weight of concepts within documents on a number of variables, with specific terms weighted higher than general terms, for example, or words in a title given greater weight than words in the text.
CES Thoughts: Microsoft's Future, Intel and AMD, Can HD DVD Recover ...
With Surface, Microsoft is still rolling out its contained offering to food services and healthcare , but it will be partnering to move to the consumer market, which apparently is screaming for this thing. IPTV is the furthest along with major inroads into the U.S. and European markets. This all may be followed by Zune, which seems to have some really good marketing all of a sudden. This provides the promise of a packaged iPod killer with a new solid back end. The Xbox 360 is already expected to move into British Telecom homes as a set-top box, and PC OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) are screaming to license. This represents what could be one of the most significant changes the company has ever seen, the products in the CE segment will improve, I just hope the company learns to more effectively use its sense of humor and doesn't lose it.
Top picks for cameras, camcorders and related equipment
Mid-range: Olympus Evolt E-510 ($650). The 10 megapixel E-510 has image stabilization, a dust removal system and 19 scene modes. A big plus is Live View, which lets users compose shots using the LCD screen (most SLR digital cameras require using the eyepiece viewfinder for shooting to conserve battery life). Uses compact flash cards, micro drives or xD cards. Includes rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Splurge: Nikon D300 ($1,700). The high-resolution 12.3 megapixel D300 is fast on the draw, with six frames per second, and has a self-cleaning dust sensor. Exceptionally accurate 51-point scene recognition metering system quickly tracks for automatic focus, exposure and white balance. Compose pictures with the eyepiece viewfinder or the 3-inch LCD screen, a first for Nikon digital SLRs.
